It's a harsh lesson, but this movie is more than able to grab and hold your attention for it. I just wouldn't bring a date. - 70
Los Angeles Times
A modest pleasure that accomplishes its goals with ease and confidence. - 40
The New York Times
The visual intensity and the relentless degradation visited on the characters begins to feel prurient and dishonest. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The director pulls back from the hotel, placing it against the skyline of our beautiful city, which appears to be waiting, patiently, for a more original exploration of its inhabitants. - 38
New York Post
Never decides whether it wants to be a black comedy, drama, melodrama or some combination of the three. The acting and direction are all over the map in this consistently depressing, if occasionally interesting, slice of life. - 30
Village Voice
Rifkin milks the generic Bukowski-land setting for all its melodramatic potential, but what little grace his tale of precarious skid-row dignity achieves is pushed into the margins by predictable plotting and tiresome histrionics. - 30
New Times (L.A.)
It's Tommy's job to clean the peep booths surrounding her, and after viewing this one, you'll feel like mopping up, too. - 25
New York Daily News
Adam Rifkin's dank, relentless drama puts you savagely through the wringer without bothering to enlighten or entertain.
